Description "A recent work by Tang Muniu, Taiwan's leading picture book author. A soothing story that reveals the shimmering wisdom of life. Sharing was always meant to be this happy and natural!" A Gentle, Beautiful Heart That Colors the World Grandma Lin, with her pink hair and warm smile, lovingly tends the peach tree in front of her home. When the tree bears abundant fruit, animals come to visit, and she shares peaches with every one of them—whether it's a big-eating tiger or a slow-moving turtle. The animals enjoy the delicious peaches and leave their droppings all around the mountains and village. As you turn through pages of sunny days and rainy days, unfolding the folded pages reveals a peach forest grown from warm hearts and ordinary daily life in nature. Grandma Lin quietly lives her own life, joyfully sharing what she receives from nature. This simple yet wondrous kind of magic colors the mountains and village in shades of pink. Growing, Sharing, Eating, and... Pooping—A 'Little Forest' Created Together by People, Animals, and Nature In the Chinese poet Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring," a fisherman accidentally comes upon a deep valley while fishing, passes through a forest in full peach blossom bloom, and spends several days in a peaceful, abundant village where ordinary people live. When he later tries to find it again, he cannot. This Peach Blossom Spring is a metaphor for the utopia that lives in people's hearts. The 2018 Korean film adaptation of the Japanese manga and film "Little Forest" carries the message that everyone needs a small forest within their heart. We all need a small refuge—it might be a lush forest, the warmth of others' hearts, or even just a single peach.
